November 13, 2014 by

Cupcakes are some of the trendiest desserts in recent years, and many gourmet bakeries create off-the-wall flavor combinations that make these handheld treats even more delicious.

Equally as charming as the cupcakes is Mrs. Gatti’s bakery itself, which is located in an adorable yellow house with blooming flowerbeds and umbrella-covered tables out front. Stop in to grab a dozen cakes to-go or to enjoy a cupcake for dessert!

It’s Always Time for Tea at Holly Berry Tea Room

May 8, 2014 by

League City locals looking for a relaxing way to spend an afternoon are invited to visit the Holly Berry Tea Room, a charming little business that specializes in traditional English teas. The ritual of afternoon tea and sandwiches is very Continental, and Holly Berry does it to perfection.

The tea room is located in a converted house on Founders Square. There’s some interesting history behind the complex: the town took five 1920s houses from around the area, uprooted them from their foundations, and transplanted them to one block to serve as retail stores. Once you’re there, you’ll get the royal treatment of your choice of excellent teas, both caffeinated and herbal, served in fine china with light dishes alongside them. The salads here are fresh and tasty and the cheese plates are quite nice.

If you want to visit, it’s highly recommended to call ahead because Holly Berry books many days in advance.
